Well, I don’t know quite where to begin.
My life has been turned upside down over the
past several weeks: pneumonia, kidney
stone attack, blood clot, blood thinner,
lithotripsy to crush kidney stones, surgery to
place a stent in kidney to open ureter and
unblock right kidney, surgery to remove stent
and stone fragments too large to pass.
Despite the fact that I have been ‘out of
commission’ in many ways, my mind continues to
think on things like this morning as I share on
facebook:

“Been
wide awake since 5:30 and couldn't stay in bed
any longer. Never thought the recliner and bed
could be so uncomfortable. Still unable (not
allowed) to do some things I'd really like to
do.......don't really have the energy or stamina
anyway! Makes me think "the spirits willing but
the flesh is weak."Yet the thinking goes on
(a little jumbled at times thanks to the
medications and having been put under anesthesia
3 times in 2 weeks, I suppose). For at least
four years my urologist had been monitoring two
large kidney stones with routine X rays every
six months. I felt relieved when he said they
are not moving and still where they've been in
both size and location so we will leave them
alone.Boy when they started moving did they
ever make their presence known!!!Looking
back I wonder, did we do the right thing in
"leaving them alone"?Reminds me of SIN that
we refuse to deal with in our lives. We may
think about just leaving it alone for now. After
all, it's not causing any pain right now. Right?
No, WRONG. When we give sin a place in our lives
it's only a matter of time til the pain and hurt
it will cause will make itself known. And,
wow will it ever make itself known. Turn to the
Great Physician and let Him get rid of it! Now.
